Pros:

Stays cool.
Chargers up from 0 to 100% in 4 to 5 hours. (Thanks to the included 12V charger! I have an equivalent capacity battery that requires microUSB input to charge and it easily takes around 12 hours to charge.)
Chargers my vintage Samsung Galaxy S3 6 times - with plenty left to top off my MP3 player.
2.1A USB ports charge phones up fast.

Cons:

None.

Overall Review:

Nice carrying bag. Not sure how I can use the DC-output cable which came with the battery. Looks like it needs some additional adapter hardware to leverage it to power laptops, but I don't need it at this point. I had a Tekkeon battery for several years that was convenient for powering laptops, but it's worn out now.
